Claws Mail, (formerly known as Sylpheed-Claws), is a GTK+-based e-mail client and news client for linux, forked from Sylpheed in April 2001. It was initially the bleeding-edge testbed for new Sylpheed features, but evolved enough to now be a completely separate program.

It is light, easy to configure, and easy to use. Claws Mail has an intuitive interface and a lot of features and flexibility.
